Thin ribbon Thursday has me sporting a thin red line; DON't cross it! A drab olive colored Chucrhill Milan from the 60s.

Again, it's amazing how much this color changes in different light.

Charlie, on TR Thursday at least the red line was thin!

Sam, the Campdraft works with the jacket really well. I'm going to wear my Type II tomorrow, weather permitting. Its soak is done! (See below)

Mark, the Stratoliner and tie look great together!

Perry, nice color on the Open Road!

Moon, the street I'm standing on is Kissena Boulevard in Queens. Passers by thought I was crazy, even with no cars at the moment.

Hi y'all! Almost a year has past, and I'm still courting little mermaids and eating Southern fried ugly ducklings ... or is it the other way around ... hmmm ...?!??!!! :essen: :eusa_doh: :D

I had to change my plans on moving to Nashville. It turned out, that it would cost the company and me North of $400,000 to send me and my future monthly pay checks to TN, to contribute to the local economy. For that amount I can buy appr. 1,000 round trip flights (Copenhagen - Nashville), so it was not the hardest of decisions. On top of that, my 6 years older sister became very ill in the early fall, and we finally lost her to the cancer a couple of months ago. That - and the impact it had on the family and our bonds - made the choice even easier.

I'm absolutely sure, I'll visit the South once a year (or maybe every second year) in the future, but I won't be moving to TN permanently.

A wise person once said: "Buried in every tragedy lies a hidden gift", and that may very well be true. At least I inherited a wonderful 1140 sqft. apartment very close to the centre of Copenhagen. Nothing has been done to it for 30 years, so I have a lot of work waiting to be done, but in the fall I will hopefully be able to accommodate any visiting lounger. That was an open invitation, Amigos - so please feel free to ask, if you're going this way :)

There are just so many wonderful hats, I haven't commented on in this thread, so I can't overcome them all. I haven't been doing much hat-nerding for a year, so I think I'll take a fresh start from here. Hope you can forgive me that ;)

Actually I just bought the first hat since I visited Mike and the "boys" in Covington last March:

Borsa_Mascotte_1.jpg Borsa_Mascotte_2.jpg

Borsa_Mascotte_3.jpg Borsa_Mascotte_4.jpg Borsa_Mascotte_5.jpg

A Borsalino Mascotte (Antica Casa) with a beautiful brim treatment, that Alan and David (DJH) have proudly shown on several occasions. I suddenly noticed it on eBay (one of my favorite sellers had it up for a BIN), and I just had to pull the trigger! Only 2-1/8" brim is usually below my comfort zone, but this particular hat stretched the zone somewhat downwards. It's silhouette and probably other features make the brim width less important/significant, I guess(?)

The color is the Borsa-color: "Rutenio", which is a rich mid-grey with lots of different (manly warm) undertones. The ribbon is a 14''' in a cooler grey - and the hat has a generous 2", oilsilk-backed sweat in super condition! Size is 6 Punti (7-3/8), but it fits my 7-1/4 head perfectly. Sellers estimate was "late 50s" ... my own is: "early 60s".

Edit: Well, this should have been posted in the "Post new hats here" thread. Bear with this noobie, please! :D

OooooLlllllEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!!! SO good to see a post from you, sir! I had been inquiring about your whereabouts, but to no avail. We were worried you might have signed on with the Weightlifters' forum... Very Nice Borsa to come back with. I hope you can drop by more often, too!

Sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. I'll bet she left you with many great memories.


Mikepara that is a very nice Deerstalker!

I'm also happy to see you, Ole. Sorry to hear about your sister. The Borsa is beautiful new acquisition. Welcome back!

It's also great to see our other European friends here today.

Looks Good Greg! I didn't soak mine and still haven't given it's first wash. I look forward to seeing how you mix it into your outfits.

Sam, I know. I find denim jackets to be a challenge to make combos with. Other LVC's or premium denim? I have quite a lot of it, but I don't want to look like matchy-matchy Mr. Denim Man. So there's my khakis and other chinos. So it will be a challenge!
